Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Portable Audio System for iPod (Black)

Product Description:

With its well-regarded inMotion system, Altec Lansing has raised the bar again with the iM600. Featuring a myriad of new technologies, the iM600 offers big, crystal-clear sound, and it folds up compactly for easy portability.

The Altec Lansing inMotion iM600:
  • offers incredible musicality and clarity with deep bass;
  • folds up compactly to offer great portability;
  • provides a dock for your iPod, charging it while playing music; and
  • features a built-in FM tuner.


With Expanded Sound Stage technology, the speakers sound further apart than they really are for a bigger soundstage. View larger. View Remote.
Superior Sound in a Small Package
Employing dual two-inch neodymium drivers that are optimized for high-frequency sound, the iM600 offers unmatched musicality and clarity. Despite its compact size, the bass is punchy and has good extension, and with Altec Lansing's Expanded Sound Stage (ESS) technology, the speakers will sound further apart than they actually are, for a greater stereophonic image.

Elegant Design Matches the iPod
The iM600 sports a distinctive thin and elegant glossy-black look. A spring-loaded button deploys the speaker's stand and reveals the iPod dock, power button, and volume controls.

Your iPod perches front and center, resting at an angle to display the current track information and album art while recharging. If your iPod model has the alarm clock and sleep timer features, they will work seamlessly with the iM600.

Various docking adapters are included, making the iM600 compatible with most iPods. Also, an auxiliary input lets you connect any CD, DVD, or MP3 player using a stereo mini-plug.

Built-in FM Tuner
If you get bored with the songs on your iPod, the iM600 has a built-in FM tuner, letting you listen to your favorite music and talk radio. Near the top of the unit is an LCD that displays the current FM frequency; buttons on top provide tuning controls. The tuner also features a memory for four presets and a telescoping antenna for better reception.

Change the Music from Across the Room
A small remote control is included, letting you change the musical selection from across the room. A storage slot built into the system itself makes it easy to store the remote, preventing you from losing it behind couch cushions and other inconvenient places.

Take Your Music To-Go
With a compact size that folds closed to a mere 11 x 1.7 x 6 inches (W x D x H), and weighing only 2.1 pounds, the iM600 is easy to take with you to the beach, on vacation, or wherever you else you're going. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you listen to more than 7 hours of continuous play. An AC adapter is included for connected listening and recharging the battery.

The Altec Lansing iM600 is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
iM600 speaker system, wireless remote, iPod docking adapters, power supply, user's guide and quick connect instructions.



The iM600 will provide enough big sound to keep your party rocking.

Altec Lansing portable docking station2008-12-02
We just love it! We took it on vacation and it turns your IPod into a great sound system. You can play without electricity for up to 3 hrs so when the radio signal faded we were able to continue to hear music. When electricity is available just plug it in for longer listening. The sound is GREAT and its a great size too. It has a radio in case you want to switch to that. I highly recommend this product. So far I have nothing negative to say about it. Even the price was good.
NOT HAPPY WITH ALTEC IPOD PLAYER2008-12-01
Not happy with it. I bought the Altec ipod player based on the reviews and price. Mine often does not turn on - i can't seem to figure out why. The sound is not great. the antenna broke off.
Great sound, Great Price2008-11-30
Very lightweight, easy to carry, great sound. Only complaint is that I thought the remote snapped into the back, but it rests there and is held in when you fold up the back. Good for trasport, not good for storage when the speakers are open.
Customer Service Issue2008-11-30
I would like to air an issue with Altec Lansing customer service. Since the product affected, IM510, is no longer made, I am placing it here.

The unit simply stopped working; it would not power up. I received and RMA & promise to replace it in 3 weeks. Two months later, nothing: no product or communication. I sent an email, and they informed me it was backordered.

Response (Wagner Sandoval) 06/13/2008 10:41 AM
We have it backordered, as soon as we receive the replacements, we'll send them to you.

It is now over 5 months later. No communication, nothing shipped. While I like the product, a company must stand behind a product.
Better than Bose!2008-11-28
I got this dock station back in May after bringing my ipod into the electronics store. I was testing for sound quality before I even looked at prices. I LOVED IT!! My roommate and mother bought the two new Bose portable docking stations. Mine sounded just as great but the remote worked so much better. Best of all, I take this outside and all to everyroom in the house while Im cleaning or working. Its even taken a good beating by little ones wanting to carry it around. It's never died on me. I dont have to carry some cord around with me. I only remember to plug it in because I want my ipod to be fully charged before I make and sales calls on the road. The price is reasonable and the performance is great. I highly recommend this product and will be purchasing two for friends and family this x-mas.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
